JACKSON CITY AND QUANTICO.
Two Proposed Cities on the Banks OF
tho Potomac.

| Two Proposed Cities on the Banks OF
| tho Potomac.
1t may not be generally known that there
are on the banks of the Potomac the sites of
two proposed cities, whose projectors were
once sanSuine that they would grow and at
| tain a national importance In population
and trade, but which stubbornly re-
fused to thrive in spite Of all that
was done to push them forward. The
first of these is Jackson City, on tho Vir-
ginia side of the Potomac, just opposite to
Washington. Tho idea Of building this city as
rival of the national capital was conceived
by some of "Old Hickory's" friends during his
presidential term, and such faith did they
have in tho name that they did not think
failure was possible if they called 1t Jackson
City.
Accordingly, they bought of Mr.. George
Mason, for 100000, Il large part Of which
was paid in bonds of the company, tract of
land and laid it off in lots, streets and ave-
nues on magnificent scale. Then, to give
eclat to the scheme, they determined upon a
public demonstration on the occasion of the
laying of the corner stone of the new city.
Accordingly on the day appointed a large
crowd assembled on the spot, among which
L
cabinet, and many other distinguished per-
soDs; and after an grafton had been delivered
by George Washington Park Gusts tho cor
ner stone of Jackson City was laid with i'm
posing ceremonies But, strange to say, that
was about all that ever was laid, notwith-
standing the magnificent send off with which
it had been inaugurated. Tho traveller who
passes the site to-day sees only ono or two
dilapidated frame houses to mark the spot
The other dead city is Quantico, on the
Potomac, some twenty miles below Washing
ton. Soon after the close of the late war, when
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac railroad was extended to that point, the
city was laid out on an extensive scale, and
such confidence did its projectors have in its
future that they went 10 work and built
large and handsome four story hotel, at u
cost of many thousand dollars. They also
obtained a charter comforting upon the com
pany extensive powers, such as to bsild rail
roads, do banking business, engage in man-
ufacturing projects, etc, but, contrary to
their sanguine expectations, the enterprise
never thrived, and instead OF bustling,
busy city, Quantico is a quiet country rail
road station. and not likely ever 10 be any
thing else. Ben: Perley Poore

DESTROYING WEEDS.


How Land Can Be Cleared of Them In
Few Years.
The time is coming when the most
successful farmers will have but very
few weeds to contend with, for we are
about to make another step of progress
in the cultivation of hoed crops. 1t is
no longer going to be the universal
custom to cease the war with the weeds
at midsummer, but some farmers are
determined to keep up the battle with
weeds during the entire season, and
others prevent any weed seeds from
ripening. 1t has been found by expe-
rience that land can be cleared of weed
seeds in a few years, if no new seeds
are permitted to ripen and fertilizers be
used to feed the crops. In fact, it has
been demonstrated that whole farm
can be cleared of weeds by few years
persistent effort, and thus even the
barn manure may be freed from weed
seeds. A farm thus freed is of much
higher value, and can be worked not
only with much more pleasure, but also
with more profit
1t was a real comfort to have gar
den that is freed from weed seeds.
Cultivation is so easy. every farmer. if
he does no more, should keep his
kitchen garden free from weeds; he
should never permit any to ripen
their seeds. 1t is true this, for the first
year or two, is some labor, but it can
be done. and it pays to do it. The way
to do it is simple and within the reach
of abby simply pulling all of the
weeds and permitting none to ripen
any seed,' and using fertilizers, the
work will be accomplished. The great
mistake which most gardeners make is
in neglecting the garden in August
and September, the very time when
the weeds grow the best and ripen
their seed in the least possible number
of days. Every weed that is permitted
to grow will probably ripen ten thou
sand seeds-some of them more thar
ten times that number. 1t does not re
quire any argument to prove that i
would be easier to destroy one weed il
August than ten thousand the follow
ing spring; so, though an August weet
might not injure the ripening crop.
is economy to take particular pains t
destroy it before it begins to ripen it
seeds.
While some farmers are fully aliv
to the Importance of destroying all tn
weeds that make their appearance
among the hoed crops, they neglec
entirely to destroy any that grow o
the borders of the field, in the barn
yard and around the farm-building:
but If the farm is to be kept clean G
weeds, it is just as important to d.
stroy those ON the borders of the fiel
and in the barn-yard as it is to destro
them on the plowed land. Farmer
should carefully cut down, at leai
twice year. all Of the weeds, aroun
the cultivated fields, and on other po
tions of the farm, and thus prevent tn
ripening Of weed seeds. There Is n
labor on the farm that pays better tina
this.--M e. Former.

Cleaning Wall Paper.

The best method of cleaning wall
paper is to take off the dust with soft
cloth; then with little flour and water
make lump of very stiff dough and
rub the wall gently downward, taking
the length of the arm at each stroke,
and in this way 60 around the room.
As the dough becomes soiled cut that
part off. In the second round COM
mefce the stroke little above where
the last one ended, and be very careful
not to cross the paper or to 60 up
again. Ordinary paper cleaned in this
way will look fresh and bright and
almost as good as new. Expensive
papers will not clean nicely. 1t is best
to try in some obscure corner which
will not be noticed, to see if the result
is satisfactory before making general
cleaning. If there are any broken
places in the wall fill them with a mix
ture of equal parts of plaster of Paris
and white sand, made into paste with
little water. and then cover with a
piece of the wall paper, matching the
design as nearly as possible.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION.
The Old Way Of Working Roads Super
seeded by the Contract System.

The Old Way of Working Roads Super
seeded by the Contract System.
The annual gathering of farmers to
work out their road tax with pick and
shovel .as the law directs" to use an
old phrase, is fast giving way even in
the West to better methods and imple-
ments. Even the pillow and dump
scraper are now being largely super
seeded by machine labor. And the con-
tract system, by which township trus-
tees form roads through firms owning
machines, is now not rare. According
to an Eastern paper the old way is no
less Objectionable in the East, and in
relation to the better way there says:
The prevailing arguments against the
contract system are that persons not
owning real estate or personal prop
erty are, of course, exempt from taxa
ton, and consequently from road-work-
ing; under the old system they are as
sessed one day at least, and must work
or commute. And taxpayers. already
burdened, it may be, object to the pay
ment in cash for labor which they can
perform themselves without great in
convenience. Here the objection to the
old system may be mentioned, viz: that
labor on the highway is one thing, on
| the farm another. Every one knows
that, as rule, the days work on the
road is s'cut short at both ends;'
that boys labor often counts as man :
labor; that the roads are worked
once in the spring for all the year, and
at time when such work may not be
most needed; that the day is often
nothing more nor less than holiday.
If perfect roads are the desideratum,
the old system fails to furnish them, Of
only in exceptional cases. The con
tract system is more expensive unit
the so,d-beds are once more put II
good order. then less money need b
expended upon them. And yet. II |
man values his time and labor at Tn,
low price of Que dollar per day, the ex
pense objection is largely overcome
Where the contract system is adopte'
and once fairly tried it is not often re
] iscted. 81 drus. Fssid aid Stockman.
